Orientale Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABBAABBACDECDE| She's an enchanting little Israelite | A |
| A world of hidden dimples Dusky eyed | B |
| A starry glancing daughter of the Bride | B |
| With hair escaped from some Arabian Night | A |
| Her lip is red her cheek is golden white | A |
| Her nose a scimitar and set aside | B |
| The bamboo hat she cocks with so much pride | B |
| Her dress a dream of daintiness and delight | A |
| And when she passes with the dreadful boys | C |
| And romping girls the cockneys loud and crude | D |
| My thought to the Minories tied yet moved to range | E |
| The Land o' the Sun commingles with the noise | C |
| Of magian drums and scents of sandalwood | D |
| A touch Sidonian modern taking strange | E |
